Title overview

Learning Angular teaches modern application development with Angular 2 and Angular 4. It begins with the basics of Angular and the technologies and techniques used throughout the book, such as key features of TypeScript, newer ES6 syntax and concepts, and details about the tools needed to write professional Angular applications.

  • Understand how Angular is organized and learn best practices for designing Angular applications
  • Quickly build Angular templates with built-in directives that enhance the user experience
  • Bind UI elements to your data model, so changes to your model and UI occur automatically in tandem
  • Define custom Angular directives that extend HTML
  • Implement zoomable images, expandable lists, and other rich UI components
  • Implement client-side services that interact with web servers
  • Build dynamic browser views to provide even richer user interaction
  • Create custom services you can easily reuse
  • Implement rich UI components as custom Angular directives
The book will be almost completely rewritten in order to fully cover the significant changes in moving from Angular 1 to Angular 2 and Angular 4.
